Do not exclude bribery, payola, graft, laundering (always a good choice), embezzlement, ‘gifts’ (as when in and also leaving Afghanistan) pay to play, art of the deal, lobbying.
Did I miss any?

I thought that letting in 60+ million illegal aliens over the years did that … this would seem to be more akin to money laundering (assuming this is really from the Red Cross) of some sort …

The simplest explanation would be that in a war zone, cash is King and things happen at the speed of life and death.

Call it a logistics “plan B”?

Because when you have the aircraft and the resources you want to make sure to spend your money locally, right? I bet Sudan is overflowing with readily available humanitarian supplies right now.

You’ve made the mistake of thinking I care in the first place.

Not my money. Not my plane. Not my life. Certainly not my war, so…

Not my problem.

Hope that clears things up.

Not caring about anything except survival helps pass time in a war zone, but seconds are all you would have with just your big, fat wallet and a Cash is King plan.

In a war zone, a day’s worth of beans, bullets, clean water and a tarp are priceless; you won’t go far without them. Having them puts you on everyone’s donor list unless their survival depends on yours.

Anybody with delusions that there’ll be hordes of united road warriors plundering the countryside after grid down should get stand-up comedy trained by hfs. Having a talent for making people laugh is always welcome in a war zone.

Did I miss an argument between you two? Because a lot of times he has a good point…. Whether people agree with it or not is on them…..

He’s not stable. That much is clear. I’m not sure if he’s a glowie & don’t care one way or the other.

Yes, he’s intelligent and can write well…seems that’s all HSF cares about when evaluating this fool. Doesn’t mean he has good character – which he does NOT.

No argument really between us. Just don’t care for this type of person.

TCS is not my problem. The fact that HSF can’t see what I see is bothersome.

Ok I see. Well, I think I have done some pretty unstable things myself here. But it is all part of growing. And I won’t speak for others but I have family members who have a hard time expressing themselves especially if they feel ganged up on. So I understand. I can be like that too. So I see where you are coming from, me personally, I fully understand him. We are in very complex times and it can be a lot to handle. Especially when we are all being played by the powers that be from dusk till dawn. BL and others have really helped me even if I kicked and screamed all the way. I will forever be grateful for the patience and the positivity they had to “negatively” pound into me. They found what worked for me. Try to practice the positive change you have mentioned you wish to be, and try to keep an open mind. Like I said I’m glad some people didn’t throw the towel in on me. Thanks for hanging on and your explanation. I think HSF sees it somewhat like me. We are all here for each other because out there nobody is.

You are not on the same scale of ‘unstable’ as TCS. Not even close.

That’s just my perspective. TCS will fully understand.

To each his own. You & HSF are pretty much his only admirers. Everyone else ignores him. It would be so interesting if we could see his phyzz. I think HSF would be surprised.

Funding and financial matters

The 2010 budget of the ICRC amounts to about 1156 million Swiss francs.[36] All payments to the ICRC are voluntary and are received as donations based on two types of appeals issued by the committee: an annual Headquarters Appeal to cover its internal costs and Emergency Appeals for its individual missions. The total budget for 2009 consists of about 996.9 million Swiss Francs (85% of the total) for field work and 168.6 million Swiss Francs (15%) for internal costs. In 2009, the budget for field work increased by 6.9% and the internal budget by 4.4% compared to 2008, primarily due to above-average increases in the number and scope of its missions in Africa.

Most of the ICRC’s funding comes from Switzerland and the United States, with other European states and the EU close behind. Together with Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand, they contribute about 80–85% of the ICRC’s budget. About 3% comes from private gifts, and the rest comes from national Red Cross societies.[37]

Charities are all scams. When you have the CEO’s of these charities making millions and year and top executives living high on the hog you are not donating to poor people. If you want to help the poor donate to your local food pantry.

Like the local food bank here. Probably half of the people lining up for food have jobs. Enabling the ones frequenting the food banks is also not a good idea, even IF they are street people. Theres no incentive for them to even want to change their behaviours. They get free food, free money to buy more drugs and repeat the cycle until the drugs or exposure kills them. They are then immediately replaced by another addict, courtesy of the usausa govt.

Iggy, little fella…

Must be nice to sit on such a high horse and be able to look down on those less fortunate than you. What’s it like to be so arrogant and so condemnatory and cavalier? Many of those who frequent the food bank are elderly and sick and not really making it on SS. Then there are those who work but have a hard time making ends meet and then there are those who are completely down on their luck, unemployed and living hand to mouth.
Arrogant assholes like you, shooting off your mouth are a dime a dozen. Why don’t you go and actually volunteer in a food bank and see where and how the food that gets in there comes from. Most of the food is expired or near the sell-by date and much would end up in a dumpster were it not donated to food banks.
Then there is the inflation which brings in six dollar a carton eggs along with other costs. Factor in rent, car payments, gas, utilities and all the rest and you discover how many people are barely getting by. To begrude them the stale bread and soon-to-expire milk only proves that you are an arrogant and ignorant asshole.

I volunteer at the local food bank…what do you do, you sad little soul?

There are always some like that, but here in the boondocks where I live, they are VERY rare. People here are still mostly ashamed to ask for food. My wife and I (and our church) support LOCAL food programs; screw the big charities, give local or not at all. Most of the food bank people are young families with a single, low income wage earner. Eggs at $4 and bread at $3.50 make it hard to feed the kids and still make the truck payment. And if the truck is gone, the job is gone…

US warns Sudan no Russkies!!! The state department and the Brandon administration better get a clue that countries no longer cower in fear at the USofA. The almighty dollar is fading fast. Sudan will become another BRIC in the wall China and Russia are building and will tell US to F off. What will USA do….impose some meaningless sanctions, in other words not a damn thing!
